51: Chapter 51 Fang Yizhou, heading alone

Even the troops were this powerful, let alone the heroes.

The four heroes were also the ones Lin Xiao invested the most energy and resources into.

After eight days of rapid growth, they had all entered the Tier 4 category, and even Jiang Yao was no exception.

[Jiang Yao]

[Quality: Rare Grade]

[Tier: 3]

[Physique: 13,000]

[Spirit: 11,000]

...

[Tu Lie]

[Quality: Perfect Grade]

[Tier: 3]

[Physique: 35,000]

[Spirit: 32,000]

...

[Zhong Yue]

[Quality: Perfect Grade]

[Tier: 3]

[Physique: 39,000]

[Spirit: 33,000]

...

[Qian Ying]

[Quality: Epic Grade]

[Tier: 3]

[Physique: 67,000]

[Spirit: 65,000]

...

Among the four heroes, the strongest and fastest-growing was undoubtedly Qian Ying.

The Aptitude of an Epic Grade hero was too astonishing.

She had forcefully Cultivated her attributes to over 60,000 in just eight days.

One had to know, this was the Tier 4 category, and the difficulty of Cultivation was far higher than that of Tier 3.

Not to mention, after surpassing one's own Tier, one would face additional resistance.

To be able to Cultivate to this point so quickly showed how powerful her Aptitude was; she was truly worthy of being Epic Grade.

According to Qian Ying, the further one surpassed their Tier, the greater the resistance would be. If not for this reason, she was confident she could have grown her attributes to 80,000 or 90,000.

However, having attributes over 60,000 was already powerful enough.

Placed in the First Source Sea, it was a dimensionality reduction strike; no one could block a single slash from her.

After all, other Epic Grade heroes only had a maximum attribute of 10,000.

This was a gap of more than six times, far from what equipment or item bonuses could compare to, and besides, Qian Ying's equipment was not bad either.

Next were Tu Lie and Zhong Yue.

Their attributes were also powerful enough, reaching over 30,000, but their Quality was only Perfect Grade. Compared to a Tier 3 Epic Grade hero, who was stronger or weaker would only be known after a fight.

By comparison, Jiang Yao was the one dragging her feet.

With only over 10,000 in attributes, she was even inferior to the Burning Sky Flame Dragon.

There was no helping it; her Quality was only Rare Grade, two levels lower than Epic Grade, and there was an uncrossable chasm in her Cultivation Aptitude. Being able to grow to over 10,000 in attributes was the result of Lin Xiao investing enough resources into her.

"However, it is still not enough."

Eight days of all-out Cultivation had made his territory's strength many times greater, but Lin Xiao still felt dissatisfied.

There was only half a month left until the first month's ranking settlement.

To get the best ranking rewards, the current level of strength was far from enough.

Whether it was the size of the territory, the territory Rank, or the overall strength, it was far from Lin Xiao's expected goals.

He did not plan on staying at a Rank 3 territory for long.

Therefore, he had to speed up.

Lin Xiao needed more resources.

Resources would not appear out of thin air. According to the contract he signed with Jin Ruxuan and the Lord Association, to get more investment, he had to look at his performance. Therefore, it was time to take the initiative.

Of course, sharpening the axe would not delay the woodcutting.

Before that, Lin Xiao still had some preparatory work to do.

At this moment, the System prompt suddenly sounded.

[Human Race Lord Fang Yizhou has sent you a request for help. This request is part of the contract and is mandatory.]

"It has arrived."

Lin Xiao's spirits lifted.

When he sent Jiang Yao to rescue last time, he had already agreed with Jin Ruxuan on the time for the next request.

Fang Yizhou was Lin Xiao's friend and also a classmate from Morning Star No.1 High School; the two had signed a temporary protection contract.

After choosing to agree, a space tunnel suddenly appeared out of thin air. Lin Xiao did not bring anyone with him and walked in alone.

Passing through the space tunnel, he arrived at Fang Yizhou's territory.

Whether it was an invasion or a rescue, one would only appear on the periphery of the territory.

Lin Xiao's gaze swept over, and he did not find any Void Monsters nearby. He was not surprised; he chanted Dragon Language Magic, and his body quickly rose into the high sky.

Looking down from above, he took in the entirety of Fang Yizhou's territory.

His territory was less than 1 square kilometer in size, with a simple city in the center. Soon, Lin Xiao found Fang Yizhou's figure.

The other party was standing on the northern city wall, commanding the army to resist the invasion of Void Monsters.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Xiao crossed several hundred meters and descended from the sky.

Watching Lin Xiao descend from the sky, Fang Yizhou was greatly shocked. He almost reflexively ordered his subordinates to attack Lin Xiao.

"You are, Lin Xiao?"

"Long time no see."

Lin Xiao smiled and nodded.

"Actually, it hasn't been that long..." Fang Yizhou stopped mid-sentence.

His mood was somewhat complicated.

Back when they were still in school, although Lin Xiao was excellent, he was only limitedly stronger than him.

However, once they arrived at the Chaos Source Sea, the other party seemed to have activated a cheat, directly soaring into the sky. In a short period of time, he had reached a height they could only look up to.

Thinking about it this way, there was indeed a sense of feeling like a lifetime had passed.

Fang Yizhou quickly collected his mood. He looked at Lin Xiao and suddenly realized a problem: "You, you came alone?"

"That's right."

Lin Xiao's expression was calm.

Hearing this, Fang Yizhou could not help but gasp. Entering someone else's territory without bringing any heroes or troops—just this courage alone was far beyond what he could reach.

After all, there were still deeply hidden Sin Race personnel within the Human Race.

If it were him and he swapped places with Lin Xiao, he absolutely would not dare to do this.

Lin Xiao knew what he was thinking, but he did not care at all.

He did not worry about his own safety, nor did he care if this might be a trap, because of his absolute confidence in his own strength.

Fang Yizhou was only a Tier 1 Lord, and his territory Rank was only 1.

The strength was right there.

Even if there were a large number of Sin Race Lords and their heroes and troops ambushed within his territory, it would not have much meaning.

Because with a single thought, Lin Xiao could instantly kill Fang Yizhou or destroy the Lords Mansion...

Once he died, this rescue would be over.

Lin Xiao would naturally be able to return to his own territory.

"Let's start the transaction." Lin Xiao said.

"Oh, right, okay."

Fang Yizhou reacted and hurriedly sent a transaction request over.

Being in the same territory, Lords could still trade and communicate; this was the reason why Lin Xiao came in person.

"The goods are no problem."

Taking a glance at the items Fang Yizhou was trading, Lin Xiao nodded slightly.

He completed the transaction readily.

Only a very small portion of these traded items came from the investment of Jin Ruxuan and the Lord Association.

After all, Lin Xiao had not yet started to perform, and being able to still give a certain amount of investment already showed great sincerity.

Most of the items required Lin Xiao to pay for them himself.

Fortunately, Lin Xiao could now be considered to have a modest fortune.

The money he previously owed Jin Ruxuan had already been wiped clean when he signed the contract with him.

Not to mention anything else, just for being the first to upgrade to a Rank 3 territory, the first to promote to Tier 3, and the first to kill a Tier 3 monster, he had been given 30 million Source Crystals.

Plus other gains, using them to purchase this batch of resources was not a problem.
